While checking messages on YouTube, I got a tip about some cooking videos done by Robert Rodriguez, who directed such films and Spy Kids, and Sin City. I usually jump at the chance to post celebrity video recipes, like I did for Paul McCartney, and Christopher Walken. They are fun to watch, easy to ridicule, and usually generate some interesting conversation. But, much to my surprise (and slight disappointment) this Rodriguez guy can cook! He not only makes a great looking breakfast taco, but he makes his own tortillas. That's some serious cooking chops. Check it out.

I spent most of my adult life in the southwest and my first wife was Mexican. I'm telling you, this man has it right on! Those are great! (with or without chunky salsa and choriso.) And his technique is da bomb too.

I think any Texan worth his or her salt should be able to cook well. Robert Rodriguez makes me proud! There are few pleasures greater than a fresh handmade tortilla; I could go for some right about now.

the salts taste just about the same, but kosher and sea salt have large crystals which are a prettier and give a little crunch. Also easier for chefs to use in hot kitchens since it does stick to the fingers like table salt.

Well I had no idea his cooking skills were as good as the movies he's had a hand in, lol. Bravo on his use of homemade tortillas....I think I'm going to give his recipe a try. He looks so natural in the kitchen. Oh and I did go back and watch Walken..LOL...I'm sorry but I sat there laughing like mad. He really is just an adorable little old man to the core of his being, isn't he?
